@v4hn The last ROS1 release (which main is targeted at) is noetic which only supports Ubuntu Focal (20.04). Therefore this change is unnecessary. If you're looking for ROS2 on Jammy, try the ros2 branch.

Hi Joshua,

I'm surprised you would respond that way after accepting #239 a few months ago.
The only reason this trivial patch is needed is because #255 was merged after that.

If you intend to reject any further fixes to support new upstream deps for political reasons, it would be nice if you could indicate somewhere that https://github.com/ros-o/joystick_drivers might be used for such systems.
I'm happy to provide a pull-request to add a note to the readme if you prefer that.

The last ROS1 release (which main is targeted at) is noetic which only supports Ubuntu Focal (20.04).

RoboStack, Debian Science Robotics ROS, several ROS-O builders 1 2 3, and other external build scripts, all of them needing this patch if they build wiimote, politely disagree.
Anecdotally, a colleague just ran apt install rviz on a Raspberry 5 / Debian bookworm yesterday and built a whole MoveIt stack on top to control an anthropomorphic head. I expect he will need joystick support soon. 🤷‍♀️
